. "Biological processes for resource recovery"@en . . "6" . "Contents:\nThe subject of this course is the exploration of microbiological opportunities to recover resources within Environmental Technology, thereby closing material cycles with minimal losses. Thermodynamic, microbiological and biotechnological unified principles are used to assess the viability of those opportunities for application in practice. Viable opportunities are developed into technological concepts working at optimal energy conditions.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\n- assess the thermodynamic feasibility of biological reactions for resources recovery under actual conditions;\n- assess the microbial biomass yield of biological reactions for resources recovery;\n- evaluate substrate properties (toxicity, bioavailability, biodegradability) for their effect on biological processes for resource recovery;\n- calculate the dimensions of bioreactors used for resource recovery;\n- explain biofilm theory and use the equations involved;\n- explain how biological processes can be used to produce recyclable crystals and minerals, and be able to use the involved mathematical relationships;\n- use the acquired knowledge to design a biological process to steer the microbial competition for substrates in mixed cultures in such a way that desired reactions occur." . .

"The Environmental Sciences master's programme in Wageningen has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences. Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. This two-year programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control the wicked environmental and sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion."@en . .
